I didn't mean to imply it was a 6' tree, that thing is far from it. I think most will get around a 6', the one I have pictured above on the S is a 11' tall, 7' wide tree. Loading and unloading onto the roof rack took about 3 minutes total from hauling it on top to completley tying it down.
To each their own. I have an
aluminum hitch carrier (50"x40"), a 5x8 enclosed trailer, and the seasucker rack. The easiest method for me to transport this monster was with the roof rack. Although if I had a larger trailer, I would've gladly hooked that up and threw it right into the trailer over this method and saved some time. So for those interested, the suction cups were plenty sturdy to hold the tree and haul it back home and didn't have any issues with it loosing pressure even a little based on the suction indicators.
